Pacifica Beach Yoga

YIN YOGA FOR BODY AND MIND April 2023 - I slowly resume my fitness program after surviving Covid without a hitch and find my Pacifica Beach Yoga sanctuary still the same with all its qualities that deserve a five stars from all of us. The Yin Yoga I had last Sunday evening particularly surprised me. I came to Yin Yoga to keep my Fascia flexible (its the connective tissue that envelopes our whole body and down to each muscle fiber). This greatly helps to reduce the stiffness and soreness from my dear 71 year young body. But then I recently noticed a beautiful restful state of mind at the end of the session. Those of you yogis will know exactly what Im talking about. During the whole 75 minutes I kept my mind on the bodily sensation caused by the stretch. The tension, the pull, the warmth, a little pinch here, a relief by adjustment there...the mind stayed on the object at specific locations, with much reduced wandering here and there. I didnt need to do any thinking. I just followed Trishas instructions. The focus remained on the pose. At the end, there was this calm, warm, restful, light, content state of mind that I could clearly note. The mind became restful but more alert. It was like a 75 minutes of mindfulness meditation. I was so grateful. Thank you Tommy for keeping PBY door open and all the teachers that care for our practice. 2019 MY YOGA SANCTUARY For over 4 years I have made PBY my fitness sanctuary where the space is filled with care and and warmthcare from the small items in the bathroom to the clean and spacious studio and warmth from the kind teachers. The variety of classes, from hot yoga to pilate to yin yoga provides me with a balance program. Each day of the week has many sessions for working people, students and, of course retirees. The teachers are knowledgeable and share their skill without any pressure on us. We happily sweat together. But most of all, my trips to PBY has eliminated a neck pain that plagued me for over 20 years, soothed my over sensitive wrists, strengthened my back and kept my doctors amazed. To Tommy, the owner, my deep gratitude for such a wonderful yoga studio.

You will absolutely fall in love with Pacifica Beach Yoga. I have been hooked since the first day I walked in. Tommy and everyone there are so warm and welcoming- it's truly a family community. The teachers are all amazing- each are expert practitioners and really help you better your practice with each class. If that isn't enough, they have fresh fruit and refreshments in the beautiful back patio to rehydrate you after class! Truly, truly amazing studio!

I have been doing yoga and Pilates for a number of years now, and throughout that time I have visited a variety of different studios. This particular facility, however, places a significant emphasis on the caliber of its instructors. Every single one of the instructors at this institution is outstanding. A new class that is highly recommended is the heated vinyasa. The hot Pilates class is great no matter which of the instructors you take it with. There are no other classes like this one.
